BACKGROUND: Autonomous cortisol secretion in patients with adrenal incidentalomas is associated with increased mortality, but detailed information about the risk associated with specific levels of autonomous cortisol secretion is not available.OBJECTIVE: To measure the association between mortality and levels of autonomous cortisol secretion in patients with adrenal incidentalomas.DESIGN: Retrospe

Purpose: To determine the prevalence and characteristics of Charles Bonnet Syndrome (CBS) and its relation to visual field loss (VFL) in patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG). Design: Prospective, cross-sectional study. Participants: Adult patients (n = 337) with manifest OAG with verified VFL and without significant macular disease or extraocular conditions known to cause visual hallucinations.

Tendons fulfill an important musculoskeletal function by enabling energy-efficient force transmission between muscles and bones. The tendon is a collagen-rich connective tissue that adapts to mechanical loading through mechanobiological processes. The tendon contains a hierarchical collagen fiber structure that displays complex mechanical behaviour by storing and dissipating energy. Current unders

Background and Objective: The number of reports on suspected drug-induced memory impairment submitted to the US Food and Drug Administration increased 30-fold from 2000 to 2022. Drugs are the most common cause of reversible dementia. However, there is very little research on drug-induced cognitive impairment. The aim of this study was to investigate if and how an assessment of cognitive safety was

Context: For nonazoospermic infertile men with elevated sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF), it is unclear whether the use of testicular sperm for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) may offer advantages over ejaculated sperm. Objective: To determine whether ICSI outcomes (fertilisation rate, pregnancy rate, miscarriage rate, and live birth rate) are better with testicular sperm than with ejaculated

Fog makes a significant contribution to the hydrology of a wide range of important terrestrial ecosystems. The amount and frequency of fog immersion are affected by rapid ongoing anthropogenic changes but the impacts of these changes remain relatively poorly understood compared with changes in rainfall. Here, we present the design and performance of a novel experiment to actively manipulate low ly

PURPOSE: Clinical relapse is the major threat for patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) undergoing hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT). Early detection of measurable residual disease (MRD) would enable preemptive treatment and potentially reduced relapse risk.METHODSPatients with MDS planned for HSCT were enrolled in a prospective, observational study evaluating the association b

Background: Long-term consequences of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injury such as persistent posterior tibial translation and risk of osteoarthritis development are unclear. Additionally, little data is available describing the natural history of structural morphology of the ruptured PCL. The purpose of the study was to determine the long-term outcome after non-operatively treated PCL injury.

Background: Eating disorders (ED) are severe psychiatric conditions, characterized by decreased quality of life and high mortality. However, only a minority of patients with ED seek care and very few receive treatment. Internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) has the potential to increase access to evidence-based treatments. Aims: The aims of the present study were to (1) develop and

In this master theses an existing control system of a DVD player has been modified such that it has become more feasible to implement using limited hardware resources. The discrete controller has already been implemented for evaluation purposes using FPGA technology, and is working well. So far however, low resource consuption has not been a major concern. This is gradually changing though, as mor

Denna studie undersöker och besvarar huruvida det är mer värt ur ett ekonomiskt perspektiv att renovera ett 50-talshus i originalskick än att bygga ett nytt hus när samma krav på inomhusmiljö ställs. Kraven ställs främst på luftkvalitén, men gäller även värmedistribution och levnadssätt. För att få en generell bild och ett resultat som kan användas i övergripande sammanhang har två alternativa utfThis study examines and answers whether it is more profitable from a financial point of view to renovate a 1950s house in its original condition than to build a new house when the same requirements are made regarding the indoor environment. The demands are primarily set on the air quality, but they also apply to heat distribution and lifestyle/usage. In order to get the big picture and a result wh

Under de senaste åren har efterfrågan på textilier ökat och andelen textilavfall som återvinns är i dagsläget liten vilket har lett till en ökad miljöpåverkan. Det finns därmed ett behov av nya återvinningsprocesser för textilier, där en möjlighet är att de-polymerisera cellulosa-baserade textilier till glukos genom en alkalisk förbehandling, följt av enzymatisk hydrolys. Att integrera textilåtervOver the past years there has been an increased environmental impact due to an increased textile demand. Only a small fraction of waste textiles is recycled today which indicates a requirement for new textile-recycling processes, where one possibility would be to depolymerize cellulose-based textiles into glucose, with an alkaline pretreatment followed by enzymatic hydrolysis. Due to a high energy

The electrification of the freight fleet, which is an important step towards emission reduction, will result in capacity challenges in the grid. The aim of this thesis is to evaluate how the existing grid is affected by the electrification of heavy trucks and what solutions or reinforcements needs to be impleme

Background The dura mater has a permeable vasculature similar to that of peripheral organs, and is separated from the brain, which is enclosed within the arachnoid barrier. Fluid and solute transport across the arachnoid barrier between the subarachnoid space (SAS) and dura is crucial for brain waste clearance and immune surveillance, but few neuroimaging approaches can capture this dynamic proces

Mellan Kristianstad och Bromölla finns Ivö, Skånes största ö som i nuläget är okänt utanför närområdet. På öns norra spets reser sig en urbergskulle 134 meter över havet, så kallad Ivö Klack. Området är idag ett naturreservat, med en rik historia av mytologier, torparlämningar, unika fossilfynd, gammal bokskog och industrilämningar från när Ifö-verken, keramikindustrin, utvann sin råvara på ön. IBetween Kristianstad and Bromölla is Ivö, Skåne's largest island, which is currently unknown outside the region. On the northern tip of the island, a primary rock rises 134 meters above sea level, so-called Ivö Klack. The area is today a nature reserve, with a rich history of mythologies, croft remains, unique fossil finds, old beech forest, and industrial remains from when Iföverken, the cera
